Mister Stichs
Release Date: August 24, 2016

An Original 'N'otion Picture Soundtrack by Keith Richie

When a family moves from the quiet suburbs of Downey, California to a remote farmhouse in Texas, they hope for peace and renewal. What they find instead is something far older and more sinister—an unseen force tethered to the land, festering in the silence, unraveling their sanity one thread at a time.

As unease gives way to full-blown horror, they are pulled into a waking nightmare where perception fractures, trust dissolves, and reality becomes twisted beyond recognition. At the center of it all is a malevolent entity—Mister Stichs—a presence that doesn’t merely haunt but hunts.

This cinematic concept album is a dark ambient descent into psychological terror, merging vintage synth horror with modern sound design. Drawing influence from John Carpenter, Tangerine Dream, and the haunting landscapes of classic suspense scores, Mister Stichs delivers an unsettling, immersive experience built on analog textures, spectral atmospheres, and emotionally resonant melodies.

With chilling ambience, bursts of dread, and fleeting glimpses of fragile beauty, Mister Stichs is not just a soundtrack—it’s a sonic horror story.

Critical Praise:

“A sophisticated and unrelenting journey into darkness.”
— Ben Dugas, ZoneMusicReporter.com

“Mister Stichs is impressively reminiscent of a John Carpenter film score, and it evokes the spirit of Tangerine Dream. With masterful use of vintage and modern synths, and suspenseful, surround-like effects, Keith Richie proves once again that he ranks among today’s finest electronic composers.”
— Candice Michelle, Journeyscapes Radio

Disappointments, part 1: Through the life.

Lyrics:

Ten years ago 
In the summer haze
Laughing to and fro with you

Summer’s nearly here
Summer was our friend
Running round until the sunset

You can count on me
I can count on you
I will be with you through and through

Never let me down
Always pick you up
I will be the one you never stop

Winter comes and goes
Ah, friends they fade away
Darkness slowly grows and seeps in through my days

Looked around for you
Ah, counted every year
What I thought I knew now I was unsure

Ten years ago
In the summer haze
Laughing to-and-fro with you my friend

You are nearly here
Bringing me the sun
Counting down to be with you my love

This is not the end
We’ll come back again
To-and-fro on the pendulum
On the pendulum
On the pendulum

==================
帰り道 / the way home
==================
そして今日もまた日が暮れる
なだらかな 上り坂の向こう
どこかで見たことのある風景
独りの　帰り道

似たような ため息をつき
似たような 人々を見送り
通し番号のような日々に
章立てを　必要とする

順序よく 居なくなって
順序よく 現れ流離う
ひとたび リズムが狂えば
底のない悲しみに抱かれ

「ご自由に お入りなさい
招待は しませんけれど」
そんな　侮辱に耐えて
ちっぽけな　譲れないもの

そして今日もまた日が暮れる
なだらかな 上り坂の向こう
どこかで見たことのある風景
独りの　帰り道

似たような 足音をたて
似たような カードをかざし
逆算で成立する日々に
秒読みを必要とする

順序よく ドアを叩き
順序よく 逃れ身を隠す
ひとたび リズムが狂えば
たえ間ない憂鬱とあそび

「大切なもの お出しなさい
持っていても しかたないでしょう」
そんな　屈辱をこえて
ずっとずっとずっとずっと先へ

そして今日もまた日が暮れる
なだらかな上り坂の向こう
どこかで見たことのある風景
独りの　帰り道

re.funked // feat Doc Fritz on drums

Faith and social issues can be contentious and polarising. But for me, both combined is a marriage made in heaven. As a young songwriter I wanted to explore that, and this was one of those attempts. It is based on the ‘I Am’ sayings, and I thank you for listening.

I Saw Jesus (Brian Peters)

I saw Jesus in a man who didn’t have a home
He was left to wander alone
Nowhere to go, no place to rest
And nothing secure
Jesus, won’t you be the door
Jesus, won’t you be the door

I saw Jesus in a woman holding empty hands
Living out of empty cans
Her children starve, it’s been a while 
Since they were fed
Jesus, won’t you be the bread
Jesus, won’t you be the bread

I saw Jesus in a boy within a prison cell
What he’s done he cannot tell
Accusers lie, and so his life
Will end at youth
Jesus, won’t you be the truth
Jesus, won’t you be the truth

[I saw Jesus in a little girl of eight
In her hands she held her fate
Away from home the city’s cold
But she must stay
Jesus, won’t you be the way
Jesus, won’t you be the way]*

I saw Jesus in a baby who has not a prayer
Death and illness ever near
May last the night,
Tomorrow baby won’t survive
Jesus, won’t you be the life
Jesus, won't you be the life

[I saw Jesus in a people living under siege
Never having what they need
Their lives have been a horror
Of eternal night
Jesus, won’t you be the light
Jesus, won’t you be the light]*

Lyrics :
Verse 1
I was never someone who cry,
I was wrong maybe to denied.
Even when I'd seen the other side.
I'd hided my pain so deep inside.
Chorus
But today now i realise,
In the same way when i disagreed.
Still I'd know that i had no faith in me
What they said was a compromise.
Verse 2
Places I've seen, I've searched a million times
To find someone who understands my mind.
So many times I've told my share of lies,
Out of time bearing no disguise.
Chorus
But today now i realise,
In the same way when i disagreed.
Still I'd know that i had no faith in me
What they said was a compromise.
Ad-Lib End
I was never someone who cry,
I'd hided my pain so deep inside

But Today 🌷     ( V@M and Mariam .  prod pb )

As I was growing up, I had a love and fascination of all the great prog rock coming out of the UK. Gentle Giant was like no other group at the time, and I spent hours listening to their music, constantly amazed at the songwriting and musicianship, as well as their totally unique approach. I did my best to cover one of their tracks from the very first album I heard from their output, “The Power and the Glory”. I worked my way backwards through their catalog and to this day, consider this group as one of my true inspirations to try to do something a little different.

By Kerry Minnear & Derek Victor Shulman

Even though this is an instrumental version of the song, I've included the lyrics here as I still think they resonate today.

As the dust settles, see our dreams,
All coming true
It depends on you,
If our times, they are troubled times,
Show us the way,
Tell us what to do.

As our faith, maybe aimless blind,
Hope our ideals and
Our thoughts are yours
And believing the promises,
Please make your claims
Really so sincere.

Be our guide, our light and our way of life
And let the world see the way we lead our way.
Hopes, dreams, hopes dreaming that all our
Sorrows gone.

In your hands, holding everyone's
Future and fate
It is all in you,
Make us strong build our unity,
All men as one
It is all in you.

Be our guide, our light and our way of life
And let the world see the way we lead our way.
Hopes, dreams, dreaming that all our sorrows
Gone forever.

Aspirations | Gentle Giant Cover

I've launched this account (and my YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/edwardcortesmusic ) to spread some of the music I've composed, so all the music that I upload to this page is original and I am the "guilty" of it. 
I've composed in different genres, starting with classical music and also pop, rock, jazz, electronic, electro-acoustic, etc. Sorry if some of my tracks are long for these days ears, I begg you to try to be patient.

I hope you can enjoy my music and your comments will be more than welcome,  and I hope to interact with your opinions. 

It's easy to like a track but it's much more valuable to me if you comment or share my music.

To all those who follow me, comment, share or like my works, know that I am very grateful.
